After a petfood investigation in September and October, the
Taiwanese
Consumer
Protection Commission
has reported that petfood packages are being found with
misleading descriptions that exaggerate the health benefits of
consumption, according to
AsiaOne News
.

Misleading descriptions included "magical" health benefits
for pets, and some went so far as to promise the prevention of
aging and decreasing the likelihood of cancer.

According to the Fair Trade Act, a company found to market a
product with deceptive descriptions can face a maximum fine of
NT$25 million (US$775,000).
